Figures. My house is the little black dot. The 3k can KMA

May is starting to show some promise for rain in the last week of the month but the PGV chart really shows how flat we have been really simce late March early April. We need to turn this around in June.

It is abnormally dry with moderate drought starting to show up ... this is all after the driest spring we have had in a while .. now we’re starting to see more rain come into play along with next weeks more widespread stuff .. I believe this should get tampered down a bit at the least .. I’m talking about extreme drought or severe drought ... don’t see that becoming widespread at all or even showing upView attachment 84435

The map was already shared but thanks for clarifying, because the words severe or extreme were not in your post I responded to.

Significant severe extreme .. they all have similar meaning to me. Cheers

Yep not bad, some decent amounts in places that need it. Of course, there are those pockets that get little to nothing, hopefully those fill in over the coming days

Picked up .05 last night, falling at night helped with accums ?

15 straight days without measurable rainfall imby

Not a competition, but going on 18 today, if you don't include that laughable 5 hundredths of an inch. I don't think that's enough rain to even wet the bottom of the rain guage.

Yeah there is likely to be a few holes but with the wedge front moving south and the cells moving north or northeast we should get a decent coverage of some rain

Yeah but clouds alone won’t keep temps at the absolute coldest possible for this time of year ! That takes rain. We shall see but from my experience it’s the rain that keeps it low not the clouds .

It may not be measurable, but it could be misty junk.

2 years in a row where we knock on the absolute coldest possible highs for the time of year , same with lows. Insane . Not that crazy though, February 2017 and 2018 both saw multiple 80s and higher even which is the absolute warmest for that time of year .

Stronger would mean stuck over the Arctic though , longer perhaps .
